Assurance Wireless West Virginia

West Virginia has had recent rapid drops in the unemployment rate, almost dropping a full percentage point month over month. This is understandable when considering the relatively small size of the state economy (Houston has more people than the state of West Virginia). The economy still remains fragile as it ranks 49th out of 50 states in terms of income per capita, 37% less than neighboring Virginia. It will take some time for the state to continue to transition to industry that will lead to increases in standards of living.

Assurance Wireless is working in the state of West Virginia to provide residents with cell phones and 250 monthly minutes, absolutely free. Customers of Assurance Wireless are freed from having to sign contracts, receiving bills in the mail and making security deposits.
